As I understand, Egypt refuses to accept "Palesinian" refugees and Hamas terrorists lest they signal a belief that Israel should annex Gaza. This tells me the Egyptians are fighting a proxy war with Israel, with their "Palestinian" brothers as cannon fodder.

No, Egypt last time they opened their border to the Palestinians had to deal with a lot of Jihad mentality and they created too much trouble. They learned their lesson and that is why they refuse to open the border.
But NOT to allow Palestinians safe passage to Egypt. Only to let supplies IN to Gaza. Supplies that will likely end up in the hands of Hamas and their supporters.
So, Egypt's own Arab people, the "Palestinians," are only allowed "safe passage" to Egypt, or through Egypt, AFTER they have been sacrificed to Hamas' cause. Still sounds as if Egypt is using those Palestinians as cannon fodder in Egypt's blood war against Israel with Hamas as their proxy.
Palestinians seeking medical treatment in Egypt can go there, & foreign nationals (eg Americans, Europeans, etc) can go through to catch flights home.
Egypt is borderline bankrupt & cannot afford 2.3 million refugees, plus they know the score with Israel, who will drive out the west bank Palestinians next.
"Egypt hopes to soon restore regular operations through the Rafah crossing, including *for Palestinians seeking medical treatment in Egypt* and getting foreign nationals on flights home, according to Shoukry on Monday..."
"The Rafah crossing was shut on Oct. 10 after it was hit by Israeli warplanes on the Palestinian side three times on Oct. 9 and 10."

Exactly. They recognize the evil that is Hamas, as does Israel.
So, there is a lesson to be learned here (there).

Why can't they go in through Jordan?
Jordan is adamant, No!
No to refugees? Or no to sending relief supplies in? Or both?
The Jordan king has refused refugees, that’s what I understand
Google "black september" when they had a revolt and tried to kill the king of Jordan.
Lasy I saw they had agreed to open one checkpoint at Raffa.There is a long line of trucks with humanitarian supplies waiting to enter

Yes, Palestinians seeking medical treatment plus foreign nationals trapped in Gaza.
